The Mini version of smartphones has become something that phone makers have started about one year ago or so and since the popularity is there, they continue to offer smaller versions of high end smartphones with reduced specs and pricing to keep the device affordable and easier for everyone to enjoy if they choose to. The latest is the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini that was recently leaked via images posted online and showed the device with Sprint branding and now it looks like the new version is coming with Verizon and AT&T branding as well.
The Verizon Wireless model of the mini smartphone clearly shows the Verizon branding on the home button and was actually first leaked back in August of this year, but then the branding was not placed on the home button. Since the first Verizon Wireless branding was shown on the home button with the Galaxy Note 2, it has not been around for the Galaxy S4 or the Galaxy Note 3, so coming back to the Galaxy S4 Mini has surprised some. The device is expected to be quite popular and sell just as well as the original.
The AT&T version of the Galaxy S4 Mini is a little more extreme in that it showed up with a new color that some might not have expected. The AT&T is special because it is available in the color pink, which is quite a bright surprise compared to the black and white models that are already on the market. It might be a coincidence that the smartphone is going to be launched during the Breast Cancer Awareness month, which also uses the color pink in all the marketing and promotional materials, but there was no confirmation about that.
Another device that has shown its face again is the Galaxy Mega from Samsung and the latest images show that it will be coming to the Sprint network. Back in August, Sprint mentioned that it would be getting the new smartphone in 2013, but did not offer any other specifics at that time. The latest leak came via Twitter when one users, well known for leaking good info, posted an image claiming that the Mega was coming to the Sprint network, which leads many to assume the device is coming sooner than later.
